Victoria: As I've previously said, it was being as realistic as possible. Anastasia’s look transforms throughout the film, so I had to do it subtly in a carefully orchestrated and thought out manner.

How did you create Anastasia’s more natural/nude looks? Victoria:We wanted her to look fairly makeup free and that, of course, is something that is rather tricky. So I started with a very light foundation, which I mixed with a moisturizer, because it gives it more of a glow on camera and it thins it out so it doesn't look like she's wearing a lot of makeup. The most important part were both the cheeks and the lips. For the cheeks, I used the cream pinky, rosy colors because I feel they can be blended throughout the cheek and even the forehead, chin, and jawline so that it looks like blood coming from under the skin. It looks like some light blush and not paint - because we didn't want her painted. And she had only a touch of berry lip color with just a small amount of lip balm to give it shine.

Can you tell us how the makeup evolved when creating Anastasia’s more passionate/sultry looks? Victoria: So there was a large transformation in Anastasia's makeup look in the film. She had to be a woman suddenly. She became more manicured, her eyebrows were shaped differently, her eyes became a much heavier smokey kind of look and the lips were really pumped up - way deeper in the berry tones with a lot of sheen just in the center so when the light hit it you'd get a little glint in the bottom center of her lips. I contoured her face slightly differently too, made her cheeks stronger, and her jaw stronger. I gave her a sudden bout of maturity that made it very different from the beginning of the film. She was softer, rounder in the beginning with the taupe colors and the light berry lips and bit of mascara. And then, all of a sudden, she had eyebrows, she had strong eyes, which really worked with her eye tone, and more sculpted cheeks and a rich, deep berry lip. It really threw Anastasia into a whole different sphere.

What advice did you offer your daughter when she wanted to go into show business? Tippi: I was so surprised when she wanted to do it. Because it is not an easy job. You are always under criticism, you are always looked at, you are discussed constantly. It’s hard work getting up at 5 in the morning. It’s not all lights and red carpets. But look what she did, and now look at (her daughter) Dakota.

Mr. Grey will see you now - and he'll see you naked. Jamie Dornan and newcomer Dakota Johnson star in this steamy movie adaptation of E.L. James' erotic novels. Dornan plays bondage-loving billionaire Christian Grey in the kinky flick released just in time for Valentine's Day.

18. Fifty Shades of Grey There’s something lightly funny about pitching the Fifty Shades of Grey movie—which is already synonymous with SEXSEXSEX—with such a restrained, bleached-out image. But there’s a visceral punch in the picture’s formal aesthetic, and the freaky fog engulfing the city in the background plants a seed of freaky ambiguity. Teehee, seed!
